Hi Jan, I’m so glad to have found your website! You inspire me…
I’m a painter, working on illustrating children’s stories and poems I wrote, but have always wanted to learn to felt. I love sewing, sculpture, color, WOOL, (love the stuff) and knew I’d love felting. I’m addicted to learning now and know I’d love to teach it someday.
I find myself ordering wool now and getting that guilty feeling of spending money on it! I need to make more then start selling I guess. I’m going to buy more of this cross batt wool that I like the color mixes on, but do you recommend I stick more to Merinos? Or does it matter?
Friend me on facebook too, I think I liked your page today. Visit my website and you can see my paintings, just starting to add fiber art.
Take care, Mary

Hi Mary! Wool buying is obsessional!! But lots of fun! The fast felting cross batts are great to work with, I do love working with merino too, I am like you, I am directed by colour, there is no right or wrong, just indulge and enjoy! I will look for you on FB xxxxxx

Hi
I have just seen your blog and am amazed by your work. I’m also a felter and I was wondring if you could tell me a little more about the pro fusion backing batt that you mentioned. I have tried Googling it but have had no joy. I hope you don’t mind me asking.
Man thanks
Lisa.

Hi Lisa! Great to meet you. Pro-fusion is a very think pre felt, since I have started using it, it has completely changed my work. When making a wall hanging, I used to lay out undyed merino as a white back ground to work on (I like the white background, I think it helps my colours to look brighter), of course this is another layer of fibre and would make my felt quite thick. Someone at my guild suggested using pro fusion from Outback Fibers Its just brilliant, my felts are now about half as thick, I still have a back ground to work on and I’m able to sew and embroider easily. I hope that helps. What kind of things do you felt? Do you have a web page or a FB page? I love to see other felters work Thanks for stopping by xxxxxxxxxxx
